Queer Book Group with Alex
Discussing Some Strange Music Draws Me In by Griffin Hansbury

Led by former Greenlight bookseller Alex, our Queer Book Group meets monthly to discuss contemporary fiction and nonfiction titles that relate to queer experience, identity, and community.

For January, the group discusses Some Strange Music Draws Me In from award-winning author Griffin Hansbury. Populated by a cast of unforgettable characters, Some Strange Music Draws Me In is a propulsive page turner about multiple electrifying relationships—between a working-class mother and her queer child, between a trans man and his right-wing sister, and between a teenager and her troubled best friend. In elegant, arresting, and fearless prose, Hansbury dares to explore taboos around gender and class as he offers a deeply moving portrait of friendship, family, and a girlhood lived sideways.
